'Hair of the dog? suggested Mr. Berry. 'Hi! Chips, old sonnie' he was bawling down the staircase catch 'Oh, butter-fingers! There it is, just behind you. Half-a-crown. Just nip across, will you? Two Scotches and a split. Take a pull at your own tap while you're there, and look slippy. Armstrong, dear boy, you're looking very chalky. Don't overdo it, dear boy, whatever you do.
And the Cat, whom she called Sonnie, could arch his back and purr, he could even give out sparks; but to make him do it one had to stroke his fur the wrong way.

The ordeal was trying, as may be inferred from phrases still current. Is teodha so na teine teodha Bheuil, 'Hotter is this than the hot fire of Beul.

Don't you know your pa told you he'd whip you if you ever went on that trail?" "I should worry, Ma! I had to go. They had Mr. Gardley tied up there, and we had to go and get him rescued."
